I'm not sure if this comment is correct. Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan are both D-I hockey schools, but the other sports that they have aren't D-I. If these schools had to play football as D-I schools, they would get killed. Both schools have hosted regional woman's b-ball tournaments. Maybe I am misunderstanding this comment, but I don't think so. Scott HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
